EAVES-TROUGH HANGER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 252,033, dated January 10, 1882.

' Application filed August 4, 1881. (No model.) i

means of which an eaves-trough is retained in its normal position.

The object of my invention is to furnish a device by the use of which the ordinary eaves trough is held firmly and safely in place, there i by largely increasing its durability.

In the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, Figure 1 represents a cross-sectional viewof an eaves-trough attached to a building by means of my invention. Fig. 2 is atop view of an eaves-trough, showing the position of the support'in connection with metal pin or spike. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the support, and Fig. 1 represents the pin or spike.

Like letters of reference made use of in the several figures indicate like parts wherever used.

Referring particularly to the drawings, A represents a building with its eaves S in an ordinary eaves-trough.

P is a metal pin or spike, having an eye or. groove, 0 at its head, through which the wire a passes.

a, is a wire, which is first fastened by the nail e to the building A, then drawn taut and coiled about the pin or spike P at the point a, then passed about the eaves-trough S and coiled around the pin or spike P at the point a and finally, after being drawn along the cross-bar 0 and through the eye or groove 0 of the pin or spike P, it is fastened to the building Aby the nail e, as shown in Fig. 1.

c is the cross-bar, having a central longitudinal elevation adapted to receive the pin or spike P, and also the flanges c, by means of which said crossbar is rigidly attached to the eaves-trough S, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the design of said central elevation being to stiffen said cross-bar, and also to form a hole, through which said spike P is driveuiuto the building, the object of the wire being, in combination with the pin or spike P, to retain the eavestrough firmly in its place, and also to strengthen WARNER HATCH.
